Link With Zotero

Wispar has a very simple Zotero integration. If you connect your Zotero account to Wispar, you will be able to send articles directly to your Zotero account. The articles are sent into a collection of your choice. You can also create new collections and subcollections.

Method 1 – During On-boarding

1. Tap the Link my Zotero account button

2. Tap the Create a new API key button

3. Sign in to your Zotero account. You will then be redirected to the Zotero API key generation page.

4. Start by typing a name for your API key.

5. Next, check both "Allow library access" and "Allow write access". Without write access, Wispar will not be able to send articles into your account.

6. Leave the group permissions to their default values or select "None".

7. You can leave the specific groups permissions unchecked if you are not going to send articles to group collections. Otherwise, please select "Read/Write" permisions.

8. Tap on the Save button. Your API key will be revealed. You are almost done!

9. Copy your API key and return to Wispar.
10. Paste your API key into the text field.
11. Tap on the "Save" button.

Tip

If you see a successful message, you are all done! If an error message was shown, please verify your API key. Also double check you have set the correct permissions when creating the key.

Method 2 – From Settings

If you have already completed on-boarding, you can still link your Zotero account through the app settings.

1. From the Home screen:

   

2. Tap the Wispar icon at the top-right corner and select Settings.

   

3. Tap the Zotero tile and follow the steps in Method 1 from step 2.
